ruby onyinyechi, amanze and Wura-Natasha Ogunji “you are so loved and lovely”

Ends in 27 days Closed Today (Sunday)

Wura: If we are making the same drawing over and over again and always throughout our lifetime, how would you describe it? Me: two separate/separated things connecting over an expanse

ruby: A calculated (or mathematical?) and spontaneous arrangement of space towards some sort of dance or poem.

Fridman Gallery presents you are so loved and lovely, an exhibition of works in dialog by ruby onyinyechi amanze and Wura-Natasha Ogunji. The exhibition features new large-scale drawings and paintings, a selection of small works created early in the artists’ careers, videos, and audio recordings. The artists will give a talk and performance, Pas de Deux, on September 8 at 4pm.

Since meeting in 2012 in Nigeria, amanze and Ogunji have engaged in an ongoing artistic exchange of writings, performances, conversations and shows in shared spaces. In addition to artworks, you are so loved and lovely includes excerpts from Drawing Memoir, a collection of written correspondences that chronicle the questions, quandaries, experiments and discoveries made in the artists’ studios and beyond.
